On Saturday 5th December, join us for an in-person day retreat focusing on Mary’s song, the Magnificat.
We will have time for guided reflection and then develop our reflections into Christmas greeting cards during a Lino carving and printing workshop.
This is a day for people who consider themselves artistically challenged as well as accomplished artists. There will be time for contemplation, discussion, learning, creativity and eating. All with excellent company.
All materials will be provided but feel free to bring your own equipment if you wish. Refreshments & a simple lunch will be provided.
